Grand Design Celebrating 10 Years at National Rally this Week – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
GOSHEN, Ind. – Grand Design RV celebrates a decade of community with the 10th annual Grand Design National Owners Rally, which opens today and runs through Aug. 30 at the Elkhart County 4- H Fairgrounds in Goshen, Ind. As one of the largest RV rallies in the RV Capital of the World, this milestone event will bring together 628 registered RVs and approximately 1,400 attendees for five unforgettable days, according to a release.
“Our owners are the heart and soul of Grand Design, and the National Owners Rally is our way of celebrating them,” said Don Clark, president, CEO, and co-founder of Grand Design RV. “We created Grand Design to break the mold in the RV industry, focusing on quality, service, innovation, and, most importantly, our relationship with our owners. This event is a tribute to that commitment, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this special time with our Grand Design family, just down the road from our campus.”
This year’s rally promises to be the most exciting yet, the release continued, with activities designed to engage and inspire. Whether learning from industry experts, exploring the latest innovations, or enjoying the company of fellow Grand Design enthusiasts, the rally offers something for everyone. A highlight will be the exclusive, owner-facing launch of Lineage — Grand Design’s expansion into the motorized RV market.
“Organizing the National Owners Rally is a labor of love,” said Bob Perciaccante, Wagon Master for the Grand Design National Rally. “This year, we’ve expanded activities to create even more opportunities for connection, learning, and fun. We’ve also placed a strong emphasis on community service, with initiatives like the Red Cross blood drive and volunteer projects to support local causes.”
A hallmark of the rally is its focus on giving back. This year, attendees can participate in projects to beautify the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds and support charitable organizations such as The United States Honor Network, Band of Brothers Outdoors, and Elijah Haven Crisis Intervention Center. The goal is to surpass last year’s fundraising total of $30,000.
Grand Design’s commitment to owner satisfaction will be on full display, with numerous team members present and fully accessible throughout the event. Additionally, the company’s Service Response Team (SRT) will be on site to assist owners with service, repairs, and educational sessions, ensuring that everyone leaves the rally with a deeper connection to their RV and the Grand Design community.
“Our owners are more than just customers; they are our greatest advocates and partners in this journey,” added Clark. “This rally is about our owners—past, present, and future. We’re here to ensure that every attendee has an experience that exceeds their expectations and strengthens their bond with Grand Design.”
As Grand Design celebrates this milestone, officials said they are eager to share the stories of our long-time owners who have journeyed with the company over the years. These stories will be featured throughout the event, the release added, highlighting the unique experiences that make Grand Design more than just a brand — it’s a family.
